I can beat all but the really good "fast food"-style pizza (the kind people stop to pick up a stack of pies to take home on their way through town) with my lesser dough recipe (uses a bread machine) and mid-tier ingredients, with a 550F oven and a stone. Yeah, you can't get the char and crust consistency of an 800F+ oven, but you can get closer than you might think for 1/3 the price of a typical wood/coal oven place, and even corner-cutting time-saving approaches will (easily) produce better food than you'd get from all but the best fast food pizza places. Don't discourage people from cooking their own pizza. Even without special equipment you can cook some yummy stuff in the $4-$7/pie price range.
